Star of the Week!

Its official.....Delaney has begun her reign as "Star of the Week" at her school. Its an honor that entails filling out a bio sheet (containing important info like favorite food and favorite book), bringing in a movie of her choice for movie day and finally having 4 handpicked photos talked about in class and added to the Star of the Week bulletin board.

We are proud of her and I feel like I need to be star of the week at work just to fit in.

Morning Conversation with Delaney

Gotta love the honesty of kids. Here is an exchange from last week between Delaney and I while laying in bed one morning (after she crawled into bed)....Enjoy

Delaney: "Daddy you stink"
Derek: "What do you mean I stink"
Delaney: "You smell bad"
Derek: "What smells bad?"
Delaney: "Your breath stinks"
Derek: "What does it smell like?"
Delaney: "It smells like poop"
Derek: "What kind of poop"
Delaney: "Animal poop daddy....yeah your breath smells like animal poop"

Gotta love kids.....(p.s. its not that bad)
